I need some help!

[BigPapaDean]

I know I am beginning to sound like a broken recording but I am getting desperate! I got my new SSD hard drive and installed it. I then installed Windows 10 Pro because that is what I have on this one. I am doing this because of the virus I got from somewhere that I simply can't get rid of. So I went to connect to the internet and the one option I have here is WIFI doesn't show in the options. I am stumped and need some good advice on how to set it up and turn it on. I also need to set up my sound where it recognizes my TV as a speakers option. That doesn't show up in that options as well.

1/. Your new computer is fitted with a wifi card isn't it ???? if you only have wifi your old one must have had it?

Yes I did and do! For some reason though it's not recognizing it right now.

I think I know what to do now so I am going to try it and see. If not I will be back!

I had just reinstalled to old hd to come back and ask if that may be tom problem. Now can I just get the wifi driver first and then get connected and do the rest? as this is wearing me out going back and forth.

[RobMc]

Yea, if he can't get on internet he can't get drivers unless supplied with computer, you may need to switch it on in the bios to override the usual built in stuff.

Here are the steps to Enable WiFi Network Adapter from BIOS Settings in Windows 10 - Open Settings - Select Update & Security - Select on Recovery - Click on Restart now - Select an option : troubleshoot - Select Advanced options - Select UEFI FIRMWARE Settings - Click on Restart - Now you will enter BIOS Setup - Go to Main - Go to Network Boot - Enable Internal Network Adapter Boot - Save & Exit

I made it by going back to the old hd and saving the driver to my Slim-Jim ssd external and then switched back to the new SSD and installed the drivers that way! Thanks guys for all the help. I used to do this stuff somwhat but after having a nervous breakdown I can't remember a lot of it so I hope you all understand!

Now I am trying to set my flat screen TV up as my audio but it doesn't show it as well. Any suggestions?

 

[RobMc]

OK a bit unhappy about you using old drives with virus, so is your flat screen a smart tv with wifi  (preferable) or does it have bluetooth (not good if your computer doesn't). Last resort is to use physical connections.

I have been using it all along but with the new HD it simply doesn't see it so I am stopped in my tracks.

 

[BigPapaDean]

I had a whole speaker system I used to use but with the TV I stopped using them as the TV didn't make the walls rumble what with my hearing problem. lol

thro the video cord I have connected to it

 

[RobMc]

Hmmm?, so you're saying the hard wired video lead also supplies the sound input on your old setup?

[FunStick]

I can help you out tommorow around 4 est.  Let me fix the virus infected one, and also help you get the new one running.  We will do video chat.  You get to see my pretty face 

 

[RobMc]

Funsticks a lovely man isn't he ?

[KaptCrunch]

dean 

maybe windows audio given you trouble 

click on speaker icon and check what sound devices you have installed  by clicking the chevron beside text   #3 in pic

a window will pop open listing what you have install on PC

Note: my TV is using Nvidia audio driver through HDMI for sound  and my headphones is USB 

PIC Correction: oops back panel 1/8 stereo  is GREEN IS OUTPUT 

for amplifier / speakers 

RED IS INPUT  eg MICROPHONE
